6 Settings *****

This is where you customize the behavior of the program.

###################################

6a Gui Settings

These are the settings that affect the behavior and feel of the GUI. Your settings are saved when exiting back to the main screen, change custom paths, change views in the main screen, and a few other times.

App language ***** --- If you have a language file to translate this program, you can select it here. You can change the path by clicking it at the top of the screen. The button in the lower right will restore the default (English).
NOTE: Newest revs will automatically load your language if it is found.

Display --- In the list view, you can chose to display the selected game's region and ID here.

Clock --- Choose how you want the clock displayed.

Tooltips --- Enable tooltip help you with the various buttons and options.

Flip-X --- This changes the behavior of left and right on the game prompt and Grid/Carrousel. If it feels un-natural, change this setting.

Prompts/Buttons --- Select whether or not to apply the widescreen fix to prompt windows and certain buttons in the GUI.

Keyboard --- Choose between different layouts for the on-screen keyboard used in the GUI.

Discimage Download --- Select what discimages have to be downloaded
Only Original: Always get original discart
Only Customs: Always get custom discart
Original/Customs: Get original discart. Get custom discart if original is not available
Customs/Original: Get custom discart. Get original discart if cutom is not available

Wiilight --- Change the behavior of the disc slot light.

Rumble --- Turn rumble on/off.

Auto init. network --- Turn this ON to automatically initialize the network at boot. If a new update is available, you will be asked if you want to download it.
IMPORTANT: Turning on this function may cause malfunctioning of the loader and games!

Titles from XML --- Choose if you want to ignore the titles stored on the xml file (in wiitdb.zip) or titles.txt and use the ones stored on the WBFS.

Screensaver --- Set how long it will take to activate the screensaver in case of inactivity. The screensaver switches off the Wiimote.

###################################

6b Game Load

Change settings that have to do with the way games are booted. These will be use as default if you don't set any specific settings for that game.

Video mode --- Select the video mode to use for games. Most games work with disc default. If this doesn't work, try console default. Then if you still need to, try forcing your region.

vidTV patch --- Patches the signal after the game has rendered it in the mode selected in video mode. If none of the video modes work, try this.

Game language --- The language that is passed to the game when it is booted. If the language is supported by the game, it will be used in game.

Boot/standard ***** --- Select the cIOS that is used to boot the program into.

Quickboot --- Choose if you want to skip the game prompt when starting games.

Error 002 fix --- With certain IOS, some games show an error that says "blablabla, 002, blablabla. Don't be a pirate." Turn this on to fix it.
Anti: Some cIOS have 002fix build-in. Unfortunately, this makes some games unplayable (the reason for this is that there are 2 types of 002 fix, and some games won't play with the one found in some cIOS). Activate the Anti002fx to play these games. Known games that need Anti002fix (they use 002fix on with some cIOS): Burger Island, Diabolik The Original Sin, Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, MySims Racing, Nutrition Matters, Solitaire And Mahjong, Takt of Magic

###################################

6c Parental Control

Settings for parents to control what content their kids see. Everything in this document with ***** beside it is hidden/unusable when the application is locked.

Password ***** --- Click here to set a password. When locked it's shown as ********

Control level ***** --- Set the level of parental control here. Games will be excluded from the game list based on this and the settings you have for them in the game-specific settings. Also shown as ******** when the loader is locked.

###################################

6d Sound

Settings related to audio are here.

Background music --- You can chose custom BG music to be heard in the application here. Click the path at the top to change it. Format is OGG. Keep in mind that bigger songs will result in decreased memory available for other functions. It is possible to completely crash the loader with big files. Try to keep it <3MB to be safe. If you want to rock out to your music, use a media player. This is a game loader.

Music volume --- Pick the volume for the BG music within this application, not in the games that are booted.

SFX volume --- Pick the volume for the sound effects within this application, not in the games that are booted.

###################################

6e Custom paths

Below paths the program uses are customizable. Click a path to browse for its new destination.

Homebrew apps path --- Where you place your homebrew apps for the Homebrew Loader.

###################################

6f Update

Click to get updates online. Just because there is a newer revision than what you are using does not mean that it will be on the update server. Also, you get the choice to update dol or update all. The last option will update the dol, HBC icon.png and meta.xml

It is also possible to update the full channel (This will also download wiitdb.zip). The channel needs a small change in the code before it can be updated. If you have a channel and you see the update all button, you can not update the channel. You have to get another one.

###################################

6g Default settings

Click here to restore default settings. You can also delete GXGlobal.cfg to do this if you get an error at boot.

7 Game Settings *****

have covers and disk images and you can't use cheats (ocarina)
You don't have the cool loading screen

3. As a Forwarder , load directly from System menu.Plus It takes 1.8 MB less than the channel of your precious Wii Memory
Update works on Forwarder
If you want to manually update its faster and easier than the
channel as you only have to replace boot.dol (or elf)at your SD/USB
You don't have to update the forwarder.
It has the cool loading screenMinus You need an SD card with the dol file to be able to use the program
(or a second, fat32, partition at the usb device)(NTFS new feature)
